The issue of leadership kept popping up on the second day of the Bharatiya Janata Party's national executive with journalists shooting questions to top leaders, who maintained that it will be decided at an appropriate forum and time.
In the absence of an unwell Atal Bihari Vajpayee, there was talk of the leadership issue, but there were no clear cut answers.
Joining other National Democratic Alliance leaders, former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Thursday attacked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for his "impolite" and "unbecoming conduct" with an alliance delegation on Wednesday.
